Closure Library - Google Code
The Closure Library is a broad, well-tested, modular, and cross-browser JavaScript library. You can pull just what you need from a large set of reusable UI widgets and controls, and from lower-level utilities for DOM manipulation, server communication, animation, data structures, unit testing, rich-text editing, and more.

Ubiquitous Angels; ambient sensor networks to crowd source crisis response and community awareness
Criticism • Side effects often dominate over intended consequences of any project or endeavor. • Abstract views may make us callous or may badly reflect ground truth. • Ignorance is bliss. The world is filled with sob stories. Best to not dwell? • Such services may be used solely for the most banal aspirations and goals. • Struggle may be important - making things too easy may harm fitness and lower diversity of skills and abilities over long term. • What about poor people who are outside of any implied technological social network? • Why not just help people around you? • Any technology should go hand in hand with day to day personal practice that is unmediated? • Feedback loops may be created that accelerate and disrupt society. • Virtual and visual only for curators; not tactile; uses only one sense. A concern?

The Kitchen
Well before Soho became SOHO, there was the West Village, an urban network of lower and middle class dwellers, merchants, craftsmen, intellectuals and artists in the infrastructure of city parks, small restaurants, cafes and theaters. In time, this cultural stronghold of the Lower West Side fell into decline and one of the last flagships of the performing arts was, for a short time, located at the Mercer Arts Center, an assembly of small theaters facing Mercer street in what was the old Hotel Central.

Steering Behaviors For Autonomous Characters
This paper presents solutions for one requirement of autonomous characters in animation and games: the ability to navigate around their world in a life-like and improvisational manner. These "steering behaviors" are largely independent of the particulars of the character's means of locomotion. Combinations of steering behaviors can be used to achieve higher level goals (For example: get from here to there while avoiding obstacles, follow this corridor, join that group of characters...) This paper divides motion behavior into three levels. It will focus on the middle level of steering behaviors, briefly describe the lower level of locomotion, and touch lightly on the higher level of goal setting and strategy.

TUAW Faceoff: Low-cost vector design apps - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
review four leaner, lower-cost (or free) options from four high-powered indie Mac developers: DrawBerry, EazyDraw, Lineform, and VectorDesigner. Unlike Illustrator, all of these use Mac OS X's built-in Core Image foundation, which makes them very easy to compare to each other.
Patrick Roberts's Blog
imagine a process as a tree-shaped (or graph-shaped) assembly line. Inputs flow in through the leaves and are transformed, filtered or reduced where branches join. This well represents lazy-functional programming. Say one wants the words from a line-delimited file, excluding acronyms, then converted to lower case and stored in a set for quick lookup.
